The Coming Terror
Steyn On-line ^ | September 1, 2017 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 09/01/2017 1:53:38 PM PDT by Twotone

Most of the news bulletins I'm exposed to are on the radio, as I'm tootling around hither and yon. So it took me a while to discover that what the media call "peace activists", "anti-racists" and "anti-Nazis" are, in fact, men and women garbed in black from head to toe, including face masks. Thus, as I pointed out on the radio last month, the violence on American streets derives from today's paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party - antifa - working itself up over yesterday's paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party - the Ku Klux Klan. Both have stupid pseudo-exotic self-romanticizing names and, as many commentators have observed, both have strict dress codes intended to conceal their identities. From white sheets to black bandanas is a mere fashion evolution: the purpose is the same - to do ugly things one could not confidently do with one's face known to all.

Yet, as disturbing as antifa is, its romanticization by the respectable classes is even worse. My swaggeringly obtuse compatriot Warren "Catsmeat" Kinsella tweeted:

'Antifa' is short for anti-fascist. The only ones who should oppose antifa are fascists.

One reason "fascism cannot be defeated through speech" is because the desiccated plaints of the left so hollow out speech that they render it so meaningless a graduate of "journalism school" can find himself typing up the headline "Peace Through Violence" and never stop to think, "Hang on a minute..." That CBS reporter antifa beat up? Who cares? He was "perpetuating rape culture":

It would be funny if it wasn't true but as it is, it's just sad.

If you are wearing a mask as a part of antifa you are hiding your identity. Arrest em on the spot

If the police stand aside to let Antifa brown shirts beat up anybody to the right of Lenin, then only Rule 308 will be left.

Rule .308 goes right along with this:

This time the Kulaks are armed, WELL armed. It won’t be so easy this time, Communists.

I live in Texas. 1 or more rush at me wearing black clothes, wearing a mask and carrying anything to use as a weapon; I yell I am being robbed and pull on them. If I shoot, then that is their problem. And I will shoot. They can be taught.

It's easy to spot the enemy.

We tried it your way.

We elected Trump.

His populist aides have been removed. A deep-state approved chief of staff is limiting his contact to deep-state approved people. The deep-state controlled heads of the Senate and House are refusing to pass his agenda, and delaying the appointments of non-deep state people. His deep-state endorsed Justice Department has appointed a Deep-state approved prosecutor to take him down if he does not do what the deep-state wants.

There will be no wall. No repeal of Obamacare. No tax reform. No prosecution of the deep-state criminals in the Obama administration. The deep-state does not want these things.

“Representative Government.” Ha. It is to laugh.

Heck, Texan civilians had to rescue an Army truck - did you see the video of 2 monster trucks dragging a 5T truck out of a ditch? We can certainly handle ourselves quite well.

All leftists are bullies.

All antifas are leftists.

(You finish the syllogism.)

There is a reason they wear masks and gang up.

The Goths and Vamps of yesterday are the Antifa of today.

Still drama queens. Still dressing up.

That was very interesting. I listened to the whole thing last night. If only we could get more introspection from these people. And a little more diligence in double-checking the bad stuff they’ve been taught.
